PROVISION OF BEVERAGE SUPPLIES - AWEN

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

This is a 3-year contract (with an option for a 2-year extension) to provide alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to Awen's portfolio of venues, including Porthcawl Grand Pavilion; Bryngarw House; Maesteg Town Hall; Y Muni, Pontypridd; The Met, Abertillery and Blaengarw Workmen's Hall.

We want to work with people who are as passionate as us about what they do and why they do it. We need suppliers who are ready and willing to support us to achieve our ambitions through sustainability, added value and opportunity.

Relationships will be important. We are a people-centric organisation.

We are keen to hear from those who can offer both high-volume supplies from established brands, but also smaller quantities from those who can offer quality local, niche and artisan Welsh products. If you can deliver both, all the better!
